Abstract

The first syntheses of tri-and tetra-cyclic vic-disubstituted arene oxides are described. The general route to 9, 10-dimethyl-and 9, 10-bis (p-chlorophenyl)-phenanthrene-9, 10-oxide, and to 5, 6-diphenylbenzo [c] phenanthrene 5, 6-oxide, includes oxidation of the unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon to the K-region quinone followed by reaction with an alkyl-or aryl-magnesium bromide and treatment of the resulting trans-diol with ...
